Supercoppa Italiana Final line-ups: Napoli vs. Bologna

Napoli trust Rasmus Hojlund, David Neres and Scott McTominay can do battle with surprise outfit Bologna’s Riccardo Orsolini, Santiago Castro and Jens Odgaard in the Supercoppa Italiana Final.

It kicks off at the Al-Awwal Park stadium in Riyadh at 19.00 GMT.

The winner will be decided after 90 minutes or go directly to a penalty shoot-out, so there is no extra time.

While this is the Final Four format of the EA Sports FC Supercup, the trophy is between the traditional Supercoppa contenders.

Napoli won the Serie A title and beat AC Milan 2-0 in the semi-final, while Bologna lifted the Coppa Italia and saw off Inter on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

Antonio Conte sticks to the same XI, with David Neres and Eljif Elmas in support of Hojlund.

Matteo Politano and Leonardo Spinazzola take the wide roles, but Juan Jesus again steps in for not fully fit Alessandro Buongiorno.

Kevin De Bruyne, Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa, Billy Gilmour and Alex Meret are long-term absentees, but Romelu Lukaku is in the squad for the first time since August.

Bologna are still missing injured Lukasz Skorupski, Remo Freuler and Nicolò Casale, with Martin Vitik only ready for the bench.

Federico Bernardeschi fractured his clavicle during the semi-final with Inter and will be out for six weeks, so Nicolò Cambiaghi steps into the starting XI with Lewis Ferguson.

Orsolini and Odgaard complete the support for Castro.

When these teams met on November 9 in Serie A, Bologna ran out 2-0 winners with Thijs Dallinga and Jhon Lucumi goals.

This is the first time ever that Bologna have been up for the Supercoppa Italiana, as the tournament hadn’t been invented when they last won silverware.
